Tips for Success

Fill out your profile completely. This way, employers will be able to quickly screen your qualifications. Recruiters
will see the profiles that most closely align with the position qualifications first.
Note: Work experience will be automatically placed in reverse chronological order.

Create efficient searches. Job postings are targeted to groups of related majors, so search for jobs under major
groups that commonly fit in the career field in which you are interested. You can
also select Yes to Match All Employer Preferences to narrow down positions for which you are most qualified.
